To Aunt Fay & Cousins Jan & Nan

Uncle Dan was always a bigger than life personality who brought laughter and good times whenever we were able to bring the Stevens and Tinsley clans together.

As I shared the news with my friends here in Winnipeg about Uncle Dan,, they all remarked how memorable and charming he was and what a good time we all had when he came to visit.

My Mom loved her big brother Dan and talked about him often. Whenever a visit was planned she spent weeks making sure things were just right for him.

Many of my happiest memories are from when we were all able to be together.

Please know that Uncle Dan is an integral part of our family stories and will continue to be in our hearts and prayers
